CHAPTER FIVE
5.0. SUMMARY
The computer based examination system has been designed and implemented in this project work. The exercise was carried out based on the loopholes that is in the existing system. Number of problems encountered in the manual system process which are delayed in the release of results, malpractices, cost implication of printing examination materials and human errors. This brings about the need for automation of the examination system. The new system will result in the following:
â– Fast discharge of students result.
â– Reliability in the management of student result.
â– Accuracy of computation of student data.
â– Provision of easy adjustment and to update student records.
5.1. RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION
In an evolving and technologically developing world such as Nigeria, where there is a dearth(lack or scarce) of lecturers who are saddled, with much responsibilities than they can handle, the need for a CBT that can take up some of their routinely but relevant task cannot be overemphasized. This work was aimed at designing and implementing a CBTs that prevents the human error(s) that is prevalent in the existing system.
I recommend the automation of examination, by automating the examination system it will minimize/remove human error(s) and overcoming their limitations by adopting ICT, since the technology promises compact storage, speedy retrieval of data and untiring diligent work. The following are benefits of automating examination system:
â– Lack of examination venues, inadequate invigilators, inadequate examination materials, omission of student results and human error(s) during the marking/grading process will be automatically eliminated following the
adoption of this E- examination system.
â– By integrating and placing students database from different branches of examination at centralized computer server interconnected on LAN or internet, the data inconsistencies will be minimized and data can be available
anywhere, anytime through internet.
â– The new system will streamline the procedure for collation of exam records repetition of work will lead to duplication. There will be centralized, secure
and robust database of the candidates appearing in the examination without duplication of records.
â– The computerization of examination system will lead to effective monitoring of examination process and the possibility of fraudulence will be minimized.
â– The computerization of examination will enable the management to see trends in results at various level and timely availability of compiled reports can be used to make strategic decisions in favour of the school and student.
However, future research work should accommodate theory based question and opposed to only the multiple choice and structured questions formats that the CBT system currently accommodates. Also provision for video based e- assessment can be investigated.
CONCLUSION
In this work, a CBT system is developed and proposed for adoption in Nigerian institutions. The examination system is an online examination that delivers questions set by the lecturers to the student and generates the report of the results of students who take the examination as well as overall examination result summary based on the user’s query. The cost implication of conducting mass-driven examination will become drastically and significantly reduced, there will be no need to print questions or answer booklet anymore.
The CBTs system can store the records of each student and it can be recall when necessary reference is needed, the CBT will be very useful tool to have transparency, reliability and efficiency in writing school examination system. It
will break down geographical barriers, thus bringing mass changes in the existing system. As a result of this ability of the system, students can take/write their exams within a remote location once it is connected to the web URL(Uniform Resource Locator).

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]There is a self reported cheating of 45% occasional cheater and 33% students who cheats often on the Rutgers campus of 33,500 students. In 1990, only 80 cases of cheating were reported (Fishbein, 1994). In a survey by Micabe and Trevino (1995) a student noted, “it does not pay to be honest in school, because, with certain forms of cheating, the chances of getting caught are slim to noneâ€. (Micabe and Trevino, 1995, P.7). Take home paper examination (Marsh, 1988) found experimentally ... Continue reading---

The essence of the secondary source of data collection is to make it possible for the researcher to examine some of the related literature on the system. It is also method used or employed where data obtained indirectly from the original source.EXAMPLES OF PRIMARY SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTIONINTERVIEW METHOD: In view to investigation, offi ...
